I got a set of 7/8" bars that are 14inch "apes". I know I will need longer cables, will 16 inch over stock cables be long enough? Any input is welcome!

take a piece of copper wire and bend it along the path. Measure the length and there you go. Or mount/hold the bars in place and measure the length to get to your stock cable.

Are the later model 650s compatible with the early years as far as cables go? If not, what should I look for for a cable set?
